HR Call—45 minutes. Overall, the interview with HR went well. They reaffirmed that I had relevant work experience and exceeded their listed requirements. I was informed that many applications were denied due to being unqualified to work or having no relevant experience. With over 5 years of relevant professional experience in all listed requirements, I was denied a second interview due to "not enough relevant work experience" - HR person.
Overall, it was a bad experience. After the initial rejection, HR wasted more of my time meeting again and giving feedback, saying, "You didn't have enough relevant experience."

Took roughly 2 months total. Recruiter was very fast to respond and the interviewers were all very nice and collaborative during the interview. Typical HR call, two technical rounds, and behavorial round.
Live coding #1 focuses on algorithms and data structures, testing problem-solving skills and efficiency. Live coding #2 emphasizes coding challenges and practical problem-solving. The behavioral round assesses experience, teamwork, and culture fit.
